New Orleans Passport Agency

The New Orleans Passport Agency
only serves customers who are traveling or submitting their passports
for foreign visas within 14 days or 28 days, respectively. To apply at
the processing center, you must schedule a visit by calling the
automated appointment system.

During peak travel season, it can be time consuming to both set up an
appointment as well as wait in line at the passport agency. You should
plan to arrive early in order to pass through security before being
directed to the agency. Arriving late could result in your appointment
being canceled.

New Orleans Passport Expediting Services

Applicants who are unable to schedule an appointment prior to their
departure date may still be able to obtain their travel document by
employing the assitance of a New Orleans passport expediter.
Since expediters can submit applications on a daily basis, they can
obtain same day passports for clients. This is a viable solution if you
cannot submit the application yourself or if you just do not want to
spend the time doing it.
